View all →About This Event
The festival brings the Museum Room display to Calke Abbey, where visitors can discover the State Bed hangings and take a closer look at the Chinese silk ha. Admission is required.
Discover this year's Museum Room display and take a closer look at Calke’s State Bed hangings. Still in near- perfect condition, these Chinese silk hangings are a treasure of the National Trust, even featuring in the book '125 Treasures of the National Trust'.
Rich in symbolism, Chinese art is more than just decorative - the display encourages visitors to explore the images in the hangings and the meanings behind them.
